hh Sunday, January 1, 2012 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 9 CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Lola, a one-eyed rescue cat, finds comfort and a warm couch next to a wood-burning stove at The Lands at Hillside Farms. FURRY Continued from Page 1 “They’re fine, as long as the dog leaves them on.” He also said keeping animals properly hydrated is essential — water dishes left outside can re- sult in one big ice cube for Fido. Large animals tend to work together to keep warm. | When one steps into the cow barn at The Lands at Hillside Farms in Trucksville, the tem- perature change is apparent — it’s at least 20 degrees warmer. Is there a special heating sys- tem used for the facility? Nope, said barn manager Chuck Deome, just 98 cows with 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit body temperatures in close proximity. Fans are actually needed to keep fresh air in the barn and p the climate around 50 de- @ Fahrenheit — a temper- e both Jersey and Holstein cows find agreeable. But one little Holstein calf still wears a special coat. Faith, born a month earlier than ex- pected in November, has to wear a coat and stay under a heat lamp for the time being. Other calves remain under the lamp for two weeks and wear jackets for about two weeks. “When she (Faith) was born, she didn’t have any hair, just a little velvet coating,” said De- ome, who raised Faith at his home until she could muster barn life. Though the cows can’t graze while the fields are covered in snow, theyre fed a special diet to keep their weight up and are given a chance to walk around in a pen in the barn if they get restless. Deome said the horses are outside every day and their barn has no heating system, either. He said they can withstand tem- peratures to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the barn’s doors and windows are closed tight at night to keep warm air in. “It’s the drafts that will get them,” he said. ; Cats on the farm take advan- tage of the extra hay on the premises, too. Deome said cats are often found sleeping in the horse barn in an overhang, or manger, where hay is abundant.
